Brilliant red. Suave, highly perfumed red berry, candied rose and vanilla scents carry hints of musky herbs and allspice. Sweet, seamless and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and floral pastille flavors and a touch of mocha that builds in the glass. Lingers with very good, spicy persistence; gentle tannins come in late to lend shape to the juicy red fruit.

Combines a rich core of spice, licorice and red berry, with savory, tea-scented tannins. Appealing now but will likely be better in a year or so. Best from 2017 through 2022. 1,848 cases made. Issue Jun 15, 2016 JL
